Paperless Drivers

What makes companies go for paperless operations Paper is one of the most important cornerstones in the pharmaceutical industry today for several reasons. 

Paper is also a slow and primitive medium. Paper as technology has undergone a huge development since its origin as a medium for handwritten information. Since Gutenberg established printing technology around 1440, 

While all this and more can be said about paper s insufficiencies, it must be realized that paper is not entirely avoidable. Most paper can be replaced in fact, almost all paper can be avoided, but there will still be some left. We cannot live without paper, and even so-called paperless operations have many printers. To manage paperless operations in the real world means managing a hybrid system of paper and electronic media. It is still worthwhile to call it paperless but to remember that some paper always sneaks in. 

On the other hand, the concept of paperless operations contains some promising advantages. Some of the most important attributes driving paperless operations are cost based, but there are also some other important advantages. 

Properly implemented paperless systems can reduce deviations during operation. Paper is a dumb medium that receives everything people record on it, but computer media have the potential of guiding or controlling operations as well as tracking deviations and errors directly during the operation. In properly implemented paperless systems, this has lead to clear deviation reductions for people, processes, materials, equipment and lead time.

The process drivers send status reports back via the same medium so that you have in this case achieved paperless control.
